200,000 stolen? If true, then the officers need to be held liable as individuals.

Obviously a false story and the couple are lying. No dogs were shot.

$200,000 in cash, in your house? Who does that?

(I can think of a couple of kinds of people who might do that...)

Perhaps more people than you might think no longer trust banks and have saved money for years. I know of many immigrants who have large amounts at home in cash who came by it honestly.

Old people do. So did Jack Benny. Now I suppose a few specific cops do, after this raid.

My grandparents had stashes throughout the house.
It was the way they were. We used to joke about getting to their house after they died before my mom & aunt slapped on the padlocks.

As they aged my mom & aunt took over the day to day tasks for them. After going through the house with my grandfather they took him to the bank to deposit almost $15,000. This was after the $10,000 law had been passed. :) It wasn’t confiscated.

Yes, they did this to ME also, the SFPD in the Mission District. But on the street, and on a smaller scale.

You NEVER imagine you will be robbed by COPS.

In fact it DOES happen....! I’m still shocked.

The screw-up alone should be worth the 200k assessed to the department and the feds. This is absolutely unacceptable in a free society.
While we know this kind of police state is where we're headed, we're not there yet; see, there's this little archaic document standing in the way...

I forget how much money I found, after my aunt died and I received our dishes and glasses collection.

She had stock piled cash in between several dishes.

She grew up in the depression. We had many a Hellmann’s mayo glass jars stock piled, as with many a can of food.....along with other stock piled items.

It always seemed weird, but not now.

Same thing happened to us, found cash taped to bottom of drawers, behind picture frames, in pockets of things hanging in the closets....even found cash years later in backs of books....

Why not do it.

The banks are paying .10% interest on your money now.

Might as well keep it at home.If I had a safe that’
s what I would do with mine.

That way when the Ovbamacare goes into effect the Feds couldn’t just take it out of my account.

“H.R. 3590 gives the federal government specific access to individual bank accounts and medical records as provided by that individuals health plan. The government may monitor an individuals finances and medical records electronically, for the purposes of determining an individuals eligibility for certain programs under the bill. They may also monitor an individuals finances and medical records to ascertain whether that individual has health insurance and is making regular premium payments to an approved health insurance plan; this will allow the federal government to determine each individuals financial responsibilities with respect to penalties and fees prior to or at the point of care as outlined in the bill. This clause also gives the government the ability to transfer funds electronically to or from an individuals bank account for the purposes of debiting his/her account for fees and penalties.”

Fact is I may take the money out of my accounts while I can.

People who lived through the depression and don’t trust banks. Some people keep gold coins in their homes, too.

So everyone here thinks that what was stolen was 200 1k bills? $200,000 dollars is a lot of paper AND there were at least two agencies there with multiples of each in the house. So this conspiracy was hatched by 6-12 all corrupt law enforcement officers, most of whom had just met each other AND all of them are crooked?

None of your business.

Or mine.

And for damn sure, none of the stinking ATF's business.

How can the Reynoso’s PROVE they had $200,00?

Did the cops give them a receipt? Did they admit it?

No?

Then it didn’t happen.

Not the issue I was addressing in my reply.

The issue I had is just whose business is it if someone does keep or have $200,000 cash in their home.

Not my business, nor yours, and I cannot fathom why the ATF would have an interest, unless they could prove it was connected to a crime.

They have produced no evidence of such crime, so...either the couple had the money and the ATF thieves took it, or the couple had the money and the ATF thieves took it and will never charge the couple with any crime.

Hell of a world we live in, huh?

And just as an aside, every ATF agent I have met was a low-life piece of dog excrement, with a holier-than-thou attitude and a definite tendency towards thievery, should opportunity present.

Jack-booted thugs.

I had a cop try and rob me too.

He was a minority and had an extremely serious drug problem so they didn’t feel he should be held accountable.
